It is evident th.4t; Lhis sort of reasoning will not bear analysis. It is socibty that is entitled to ask for " mercy" in the sense of being protected in person and property, life and limb, from would-be murderers and depredators. Another principal of all sound leg slittion is that criminals shall be tried and acquitted, or found guilty and condemned to punishment, by a judge and jury sitting in open court—hearing the argutubuts of counsel for the prisoner and the prosecution, and the testimony of witnesses who may be examined, cross-examined, and re-examined- But, running diametrically counter to this principle, we have in practice a secret tribunal, consisting of a few persons—probably doctors, who know little cc nothing of evidence—nominated privately Ay member of the Government, who is not a judge, or even a lawyer, and possessing the power of practi cally nullifying the sentence of a court of law after a careful public trial. Sir George Greg bas-him self told 113 that the Home-office has no power to order that, in such investigations as those which have been made in Townley's case subsequently to his trial and sentence, the evidence of the persons expressing opinions as to the alleged lunatic's sanity shall be taken upon oath. In Jessie 111 1 Lachlan's case nobody knew at the time what was being done in the secret inquiry which took place. Indeed, it is doubtful if many people know now. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

"Mr. Kent has undeniable merits—warm and high-toned feeling, a pleasant combination of grace and humour, and no small power to individualise. Pope and Twickenham' is a cabinet picture. Marianne' will commend itself to all mothers by its gush of parental tenderness, and its acquain tance with baby wiles and mysteries. 'Fructidor ' shows what Dutch fidelity of word-painting the author can master when he tries. His fruit is as vivid and well characterised as it Lance had painted it."—Athenaeum. " Mr. Kent is truly poet and not egotist. He is a master of versification. 'Shelley at Marlow 'is a painting exquisitely delicate. The vision of Shelley is almost perfect. DREAM LAND' is a work conceived in a noble spirit, and executed with scholarly taste, frequently with flashes of true poetic inspiration. The Dying Bridegroom 'is distinguished by a genuine pathos, which leads us to believe that Mr. Kent would succeed eminently in some story of the affections." —The London Review.

TlMES.—Although it is impossible not to look with sympathy on the efforts of the Danes to defend their country, and not to admire the courage they have shown in the first conflicts of the war, we re ceive with pain the news that blood has been shed. The attack on Missunde may prove the opening of a e, • lamitons period, and at some future time, when the ev il s deduced from it are recognised, the sorrow may be all th' deeper from the knowledge that the act was wholly unnecessary. We mourn a single battle like that of Tot:louse, which was fought after peace was decided ; but what are we to say to a campaign which is demonstrae l `ly and without contradiction unnecessary, which is actually begun after the whole object of the expedition is alkinedP It is now known-- that the British Government . a few days since made to the two German powers a proposition which de.- prived them of every possible grout?d for hostilities. Austria and Prussia took up arms to _obtain the re peal of the November Constitution any the fulfil ment of the engagements of 1852. Den:nark at the instances of friendly States promised to com ply as soon as the proper forms could be g ene through ; and the King gave a proof of his sine cerity by convoking the Rigsraad even when the allies were on the point of passing the Eider. As, however, they refused to trust the Royal word and affected to think that Denmark only wished to gain time, England offered to guarantee the fulfilment of the required conditions, and to em body the German principles as to the government of Schleswig-Holstein in a Protocol to be signed by the signatories of the Treaty of 1852. When, therefore, the troops of the two Powers passed the Eider the Governments knew that all they de manded had been conceded, and not only conceded, but guaranteed by a first-rate Power, which had been the chief adviser of Denmark and possessed the power of enforcing its own opinions. Can it be said, then, that the war on which they have entered is other than a useless carnage? These two great States have been hurrying northward their powerful armies: they have broken the peace of Europe, and excited the hopes of the revolutionary, the ambitious, and the turbulent all over the Conti nent,and all without any ostensible purpose whatever. It must be alleged against them, either that their designs are such as they have not yet ventured to avow, or that they are guilty of the great political crime of making war without even the decency of a pretext in order to stand well with the warlike section of the German people. They will be here after judged severely, whatever may be their mo tives, and whatever may be the consequences of the campaign. If in defiance of their explanations and promises they attempt either to separate Schleswig from Denmark or to transfer the sovereignty of the Duchies to the Prince of Augustenbnrg, they will stand before the world guilty of adding deception to the breach of their treaty engagements. They are not only bound to respect the succession as settled on the present King of Denmark, but they have officially and repeatedly declared that they ac cept that obligation and have no intention to violate it. But even though they should refrain from that great wrong they will have much to answer for both before the German people and neutral nations. With their eyes open, and seeing plainly that after the campaign they would have to do what could as et)sily have been done before it, they have invaded a neighbouring State where there was not the smallest disturbance which might seem to invite them ; they have attacked the army of a nation which has given them no offence that it is not ready to retract, and they threaten to pursue their enterprise until the King's forces are driven from a province to which they formally acknowledged his right. It is in this unnecessary and criminal invasion that the i,,attle of Missundo takes place, a battle that op pear- likely to be only the prelude to more serious encounte: s. If the Danes resist with anything of the spirit wa'jch marked the former war, they will not be driven tie to their present strong positions without sharp fi g i ati 2ea A force of 35,000 men on such a line as the ba2e B hold, though it may not be axle to maintain itse;:yermanently against .. an army which may shortly .mount to three times its number, will assuredly, it well handled, inflict serious losses on its assailants. T he late conflict will probably prove to be but a sai i rmißh in comparison with the battles which will be neCes sary to dislodge the Danes from the country to the south of Schleswig. Even the Prussians, who have retired to Eckerntilvde from the scene of Tuesday's encounter, seem disposed to give credit to their enemy for no little determination. In the attack on Missunde it appears that Prince Frederick Charles employed 74 guns—certainly a powerful artillery against any position, and the result of the day's engagement is, we learn, that, in the Prince's opinion, the Danes will oppose serious resistance to the Austrian and Prussian advance. Most people will agree with the Prussian Prince, and regret that the combined weakness and obstinacy of his Government have carried the leading German States into a war from which no honour can come from victory, while defeat will bring (Imager and humi liation. It will be the duty of Lord Russell this evening to lay before the country an account of the negotiations which have employed the last two months. Though marked by immediate failure, there is no reason to despair that our policy will be effective. We have defended the positive law of Europe and the provisions of a treaty to which we were a party. We have done all that peaceful efforts could accomplish to deliver the Duchies from war, and we have succeeded in placing Prussia and Austria hopelessly in the wrong by taking from them every pretext for their acts. The result of the mediation of England is that the Danes have yielded everything which the most ardent Germans required three months ago, that, instead of being driven from Holstein, they have left it of their own accord, and now allow the world to perceive the bad faith of the German Confederation, which has taken advantage of their absence to protect the Prince of Augustenburg in his designs. The future course of British policy non' rests with the House of Commons. It will probably depend on the dura tion of the resistance which the Danes are able to make, and on the spirit which the allies show in their dealings with the political question. All that a neutral nation may fairly do will, no doubt, be sanctioned by Parliament and public opinion. But with the antagonism between Dane and German heated by mutual slaughter we have little hope that moderate counsels will now be listened to by either side. POST.—As the law relating to criminals alleged to be insane is to be altered this session, it is desir able to ascertain the principles upon which such amendment should be based. It is assumed in the criminal legislation of all countries that it is right, and good for society, that criminals should be punished in order to prevent crimes from being come mitted and to protect life and property. The fear of punishment is a powerful motive to deter from crime, and therefore the law ordains that punish ment shall follow crime in regular sequence, like cause and effect. It is also assumed that certainty and celerity are the two principal conditions of the efficacy of punishment. In proportion as punish.. meat is dilatory and uncertain does it become inopee rative. These two assumptions are intuitive self evident truths. That men fear punishment, and fear it in proportion as it is sure and speedy, is a ma x i m of which nobody capable of putting two ideas logi cally together has any more doubt than ho hes o f his own existence, or that two and two make four. This being universally assented to, how comes it that we find a practice which traverses and nega tives this principle still prevalent among civilised communities at the present day ? It is admitted to be right and for the good of society that criminals should be punished, and that punishment should fol low crime swiftly and infallibly ; and yet we are gravely told upon authority that when the preven tive and deterring force of punishment has been weakened by having bean unnecessarily delayed and rendered uncertain, it ought, for this reason, to be still further weakened by being commuted to a lesser and milder form of punishment. Life is considered the most valuable thing which the law purports to protect. The critne of wilfully and purposely destroy ing lite is the highest of crimes known to the law. It, is therefore more necessary that punishment should he more efficacious, that is, sure, inevitable, speedy, , in cases of murder than in the case of lesser crimes. BEAUTIFUL FOR EVER.

By order of the Board of Directors, G. H. JAQUES, Secretary. Auction Mart, January, 180. Vice-Admiral Sir Michael Seymour, G.C.8., Naval Commander-in-Chief at Portsmouth, yesterday hoisted his flag on board the Sprightly steam tender, and proceeded out to SpHiead, where he officially inspected the Duncan, 81, screw liner, Capt. Gibson, flagship of Rear-Actiniral Sir James Hope, K.C.8., the future Admiral corkuoaid ing the British squadrons on the North America and \Wilt India stations. The Duncan will make her commission trial of speed at the measured mile in Stokes Bay early to morrow, weather permitting. the Orontes, screw troopship, Capt. W. H. Hire, will go out of Portsmouth harbour on the completion of her repairs to machinery, &c,, this morning, and will anchor at Spit head in readiness for her trial at the measured mile, which is appointed to take place on Saturday. Should the trial prove satisfactory, the Orontes will then proceed to the Mediterranean. Her Majesty's paddle yacht Alberta will maks a third trial of speed to. day with hail boiler power at the measured mile in Stokes Bay, near fortsumuth. Rear-Admiral Robinsoa. Controller of the Navy, and other ofilo:als, are expected to be presenc, at the trial. In addition to the iron and ironclad frigates in progress at Chatham dockyard, it is decided to appropriate :No. G build ing shed for iron shipbuilding purposes as soon as the ne cessary arrangements can be carried into effect. The slip is at present occupied by the Myrmidon, a small wooden screw 4-gun vessel of 200-horse power, which is about three fourths completed. All the hands have been removed Cram that, as well as the other wooden ships in various stages of progress at Chatham dockyard, for several years past, It is proposed to complete the Myrmidon at once, and forthwith to launoh her, when the slip will be immediately prepared far one of the smaller classes of iron ships which are about to be introduced into the Royal navy. In anticipation of thi , slip being required for the construction of aniron vessel, a number of workmen have been for some time einployed in erecting the supports and tramways for tne overhead tra vellers and cranes. The details respecting the new iron ves sel have not yet been forwarded to Chatham dockyard ;runt the Chief Constructor's filer, where the drawings and plans are in course of preparation. The freight-ship steamer Lord Clyde yesterday went down to Woolwich Arsenal, and shipped animuunim fur Hongkong. Her Mojesty's steam storeship Dee, Master Commander Raymond, has shipped a full cargo of steam gear, consisting of machinery, &c., fur the steam sloop Harlequin, at Ports mouth, and naval stores, spare spars, sails, &c., for the Fox, about to sail for Ocrfu, to bring home war stores from the lonian Islands. The Dee will sail this m: ruing from Wool wich at 9 o'clock, and will embark 200 men and boys for the fleet. A number of scaling ladders, manufactured in the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich, have been despatched by the last Mediterranean matt packet for the use of the party of Royal Engineers engaged in razing the fortifications of Corfu on their evacuation by our troops. The screw steam Coastguard ship Russell, GO, Capt. Sydney Grenfell, from Falmouth, arrived at Plymouth on Tuesday evening. She discharged her powder yesterday morning, and went into harbour to be dismantled. Her dace) s and crew will be turned over to the screw steamship t ilt. George, 81, to succeed the Russell at Falmouth. The steam tender to the RussAl, Lieut.. Commander Scott, Arrived in company with that vessel. The f oli llwing appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty : V. F. Johnson, muster. additional to the Cumberland, for he Arethusa ; Arthur Charmer, I - ferny B. Flemming, R. B. E, Ugle, and A. K. Woodrow, nominated to naval cadetships. THE Alirvl.Y. The various classes of the Gentleme.n Cadets studying at. the Royal Military Academy at Woolwich were resumed yesterday morning, at the close of the Christmas vacation. The new pupils who have passed their examination for ad mission to fill the vacancies created by the late commission will join on Wednesday next. A notification has been received at Chatham garrison from the Horse Guards that the next examination of can didates for the medical department of the army will com mence at the Royal Military Hospital on Tuesday next, the 9th inst., before Major-Gen. F. W. Hamilton, C. 13., Vice-President, and the members of the Council of Edu cation. The alterations and improvements suOgested by the Army Sanitary Commissioners on the occasion of their visit to St. Mary's Casemated Barracks, Chatham, oil that establish ment being evacuated by the invalid depot, have now been carried into effect, and the building , which will accommodate about 1,200 officers and men, will be ready for the reception ite of troops during the coming summer. In order /O render the barracks more healthy as quarters for troops, th‘.7ven tilating arrangements in each of the casemated rooms have been very materially altered and improved, while the accommodation will be still further increased by placing smaller number of troops in each of the compartimuts. Should the barracks not be requirel to 1) occupied Ly one of the depot battalions at Chatham garrison, it is probable that one of the Indian regiments which will arrive home during the coming summer will take up its quarters at St. Mary's Barracks. The military invalids and time•expired men who arrived at Spithead on Tuesday in the John Lidgett, from Hong Kong and the Cape of Good Hope, Were disembarked yes terday, and the ship afterwards sailed for the Thames. Another of Capt. Blakely's 9-inch guns, manufactured for the service of foreign Gover nments, was yesterday teste d at the proof butt in Woolwich Arsenal, under the special direction of Major P. Bedingfield, officiating Assistant-In spector of Royal Artillery, Mr. Campbell, representing the Blakely Company, b e i ng also present. The charge, as on former occasions, was 451 b of powder and a cylinder of 3cwt and lqr. The enormous amoun t o f cas t steel with which the gun is built up weighs upwards of 12 tone. The breach piece, absorbing nearly the whole of this huge mass of metal, is surrounded behind the trunnions by a ring of the same material, 3in b roa d b y 3i n t hi c k , an d w hi c h f rom it s posi tion is destined to resist the whole force of the concussion. This ring was found to have split at the first round, and on examination a very perceptible flaw was detected in the metal. A similar occurrence took place in one of the guns proved last week. The proof was, however, continued with the consent of Mr. Campbell, and a second round was fired with the same charge. The success was then pronounced to be perfect. Nothing had moved. It was therefore sug gested that the ring which had given way, and which l% us considered an unimportant one,should in future be dispensed with. A number of guns of smaller dimensions, it was stated, are in readiness for shipment by the Blakely Ordnance Company for Denmark, and others of the same class as those proved yesterday will be shortly ready for Russia.
